He is notable for being the firstborn son of Judah and his Canaanite wife, Shua's daughter. The account of Er is brief but significant, as it highlights themes of divine judgment and the continuation of the Messianic line through Judah. Biblical References: 1. <a href="/genesis/38-3.htm">Genesis 38:3-7</a> : "So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er. She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan. Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Kezib that she gave birth to him. Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death." Er's account is primarily found in <a href="/bsb/genesis/38.htm">Genesis 38</a>, where he is introduced as the firstborn of Judah. The text does not specify the nature of Er's wickedness, but it was significant enough to warrant divine intervention. The LORD's decision to put Er to death underscores the seriousness of his actions and serves as a reminder of God's holiness and justice. Family and Lineage: Er was the eldest of three sons born to Judah and his Canaanite wife. His brothers were Onan and Shelah. Judah arranged a marriage for Er with a woman named Tamar. However, Er's untimely death left Tamar a widow without children, which was a significant issue in the cultural context of the time, as it threatened the continuation of Judah's lineage. The Levirate Marriage and Its Implications: Following Er's death, the custom of levirate marriage came into play. This practice, later codified in the Mosaic Law (<a href="/deuteronomy/25-5.htm">Deuteronomy 25:5-10</a>), required the brother of a deceased man to marry the widow to produce offspring in the deceased brother's name. In Er's case, his brother Onan was expected to fulfill this duty with Tamar. However, Onan's refusal to produce offspring for his brother led to his own death by divine judgment (<a href="/genesis/38-8.htm">Genesis 38:8-10</a>). Theological Significance: Er's brief mention in the Bible serves as a prelude to the more extensive narrative involving Tamar, Judah, and the continuation of the Messianic line. Despite Er's wickedness and subsequent death, God's providential plan continued through Tamar's eventual union with Judah, resulting in the birth of Perez and Zerah (<a href="/genesis/38-27.htm">Genesis 38:27-30</a>). Perez, in particular, is significant as an ancestor of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ (<a href="/matthew/1-3.htm">Matthew 1:3</a>). Er's account, though short, is a testament to the themes of divine justice and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through imperfect human history.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Erwatchman<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Er(watchful). <ol> <li>First-born of Judah.
